How do I keep guacamole deviled eggs from turning brown?

Use plenty of lime juice in your mixture and keep the eggs covered with plastic wrap until just before serving. The acid helps slow oxidation and keeps the filling green.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving for best color and texture.

Can I add other ingredients to the filling?

Definitely. Try adding diced bacon, crushed tortilla chips, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a creative twist.

Are Guacamole Christmas Deviled Eggs healthy?

Yes! With avocado as the base, these eggs provide heart-healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins without any added mayo.

Can I make these for other occasions?

Absolutely. While they’re perfect for Christmas, they’re also great for Cinco de Mayo, summer parties, or any time you need a colorful appetizer.
